Obama’s tantrum a striking display of failed leadership
nypost ^

Posted on 06/15/2016 7:50:40 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

If it is true that the best defense is a good offense, President Obama should be celebrating in the end zone now. Obviously furious over criticism that his anti-terror policies are weak and that the Orlando slaughter proves it, he went on a televised tirade to let America know he’s mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. He laid waste to a field of straw men, cable-TV pundits and the always-evil “partisan rhetoric,” by which he means anyone who disagrees with him. It was a striking display of personal anger and pent-up grievances — and a total failure of leadership during a national crisis. It also, inadvertently, captured why Donald Trump was able to brawl his way to the GOP nomination. All his nice Republican rivals couldn’t stir voters because they never knew how to rattle Obama the way Trump is doing. The president didn’t mention Trump yesterday, but the whole speech was nothing but a desperate and incoherent reaction to Trumpism.

Instead of the NY Post playing the usual Obama is a dummy card, why don’t they force the Muslim apostate to tell muslims they have a choice of Islam or no Islam, but it is their free choice.

But then again I know what sells to the conservatives and its the usual time waster junk.

He gets passionate when he is defending muslims. He gets passionate when he defends homosexuals.

He’s pretty blase’ the rest of the time.

Obama is a pitiful excuse for a leader. He couldn’t lead a JV cheerleading team.

But, on the other hand, what would one expect from an foreign exchange student who has always hated America and couldn’t wait until the leftist billionaire propelled him through the Illinois house into the Senate and finally into the oval orifice where he could do great harm to a once great nation.

Helpful in developing his character was his homosexual activities in his drug-hazed misspent youth.

He has succeeded in his goal to cripple the USA, but he will be forever hated by the true Conservative Constitutional Americans who history will show tried very hard to bail this sinking ship of state.

Those Conservatives will likewise hold in low repute the voters who elect this trash and who someday will wonder why there is a shortage of toilet paper.

I think it’s very telling, that Obama is visibly angry at Trump, but visibly showed no emotion when he first came out to comment on the Orlando massacre.

He had a similar reaction to the Paris massacre. He was on an overseas trip at the time. But there too, his reaction to Muslim terror was muted, no emotion shown, just ticking off a laundry list of things we continue to do to fight “ISIL”, which he calls by those initials, when the rest of the world calls them “ISIS”.

It is frustrating that this president shows no emotion over the massacres, but shows strong emotion at any suggestion that the Muslims who perpetrate these acts were somehow motivated by Islam.

Obama is losing it. His handlers are getting concerned (including ValJar). An incident staged by his handlers would not surprise me one bit.

It's akin to his description of the deaths of four Americans at Benghazi as "a bump in the road."

Failed leadership and lack of character.

All of his “reaction to recent terror” speeches seem like he has a gun to his head, and he is always tripping over his privates not to say the important words “Islam” and “terror.”

But he was hopping mad at Trump. Praying for Trump’s safety.

Obama only cares about Obama and his precious islamic faith. Nothing else motivates him. The world should be basking in his awesome awesomeness and when something dare challenge his own perception of himself he reacts with the fury of a scolded little boy.
